With only four days to go for the last day of registration, the Gujarat Common Admission Service (GCAS) portal has seen registration for only 25% of the total seats for Gujarat University. Out of over 55,000 seats, 14,000 students have put Gujarat University as their first choice.

With such numbers, many believe that 40% of seats will stay vacant this year for the university. The principals and heads of departments were called for a meeting over the issue, likely to be held today at the Senate hall.
